proftpd seems not be running anymore, if Itry /etc/init.d/proftpd start I get the following error: Code: root@hxxxx:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd start Starting ProFTPD ftp daemon: - getaddrinfo 'hxxxx' error: Name or service not known - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hxxxx' - getaddrinfo 'hxxxx' error: Name or service not known - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hxxxx' proftpd. root@hxxxx:~# Also thereis a logentry Code: Sep 20 22:44:44 h5810 proftpd[3533]: socket() failed in connection initialization: Address family not supported by protocol I knowtheabove problems come from me wanting to rename my machine, at least correct my machines name, but where is proftpd looking? I mean I already havea post explaining that hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net is my hostname and my domain, I can't just simply split it into host:hxxxx and domain:serverkompetenz.net thats not working... But if I enter hxxxx.serverkompetenz.netfor host and domain sometimes the mailsystem tries to do it like this: hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net.hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net and that will not work.
I tried a grep -i -R 'hxxxx' /etc Code: root@hxxxx:~# grep -i -R 'hxxxx' /etc grep: Warnung: /etc/network/run: Rekursive Verzeichnisschleife. grep: /etc/rcS.d/S35devpts.sh: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Übereinstimmungen in Binärdatei /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key. /etc/motd:Linux hxxxx 2.4.29 #3 SMP Tue Feb 15 01:47:49 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux /etc/hostname:hxxxx /etc/hosts:81.xxx.xxx.xxx hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net /etc/mailname:hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net /etc/motd.old:Linux hxxxx 2.4.29 #3 SMP Tue Feb 15 01:47:49 CET 2005 i686 unknown /etc/postfix/main.cf:myhostname = hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net /etc/postfix/main.cf.orig:myhostname = hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net /etc/postfix/local-host-names:hxxxx /etc/postfix/local-host-names:localhost.hxxxx /etc/postfix/local-host-names:hxxxx.serverkompetenz.net /etc/postfix/local-host-names~:hxxxx /etc/postfix/local-host-names~:localhost.hxxxx Übereinstimmungen in Binärdatei /etc/aliases.db.

I think you're running Debian. There must be a file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. Copy the contents from it, delete that file, and then recreate it simply by running Code: crontab -e as root and pasting the contents of the old file into it. That should solve the problem.
after following your instructions how can I check if its ok now besides looking into my logfiles for that crontab entry I had before? I do not really trust my vi editing abilities and unforunately thats the editor crontab calls ;-) although I guess I could change that too.
you know what I mean, something like crontab -c -c like check, maybe combined with a -v like in verbose I guess this a the reason why my statistics do not get compiled too. I`ll wait until midnight and see what happens
